The Best Affordable Cleanser I’ve Ever Tried
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m always on the hunt for good, affordable cleansers: I consider cleansing to be of extreme importance and while I’m personally ready to pay a small fortune for a good skin-cleaning product, not everybody can or w..
Drunk Elephant Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser
My obsession with cleansers is well documented, but I haven’t really found anything to add to my Hall of Fame for a while. Omorovicza Hydra Melting Cleanser is beautiful, but doesn’t remove makeup as well as I’d like and is ridiculously expensive. Kat Burki’..
Best of 2018: Makeup
I admit this title is misleading, as it’s in no way a comprehensive assessment of stuff that came out in 2018. Firstly, I don’t buy that much makeup any more. Mind you, I still buy much more than an average person, but I don’t test as much as I do with skinc..
Cheap Skincare: Alessandra Steinherr x Primark
I had never been inside a Primark store until this autumn, when Alessandra Steinherr launched her skincare line for the brand. For those of you that don’t spend silly amounts of time on Instagram checking people’s skincare routines: she is a former Glamour m..
Autumn Edit: Makeup

Drunk Elephant Brand Overview Part 1
If you follow skincare news as obsessively as I do, you already know that Drunk Elephant is launching at Cult Beauty and Space NK on 3 October. From then on, this amusingly named skincare line will be easily accessible for people in Europe (and beyond, but i..
Warm Weather Skincare Routine
As the heatwave continues (it’s going to be 37 degrees in Brussels today), I have been contemplating my skincare routine. I fully understand when people do not want to put anything on their skin in this heat and if you can get away with cleansing, a hydratin..
Jordan Samuel Skincare
May is not going to be a great month for blogging around here, as you may have already realised: it’s busy at work and it’ll only get worse; I’ve lost my iPad and this messes with my writing and posting big time (I have no computer at home) and my partner ha..
The Sunset Eye
I’m not the greatest of makeup artists – most of the time, I cannot be bothered with anything elaborate and even if decide that I want a full face, I go for effect over technical mastery. That said, I have a good understanding of makeup in general: what prod..
A Great Mainstream Cleanser: Origins Jelly
My skincare obsession has been less in evidence recently, because I haven’t been buying as much as usual. In fact, since my Glossier haul, I’ve only bought a couple of bits and pieces and have been using up my (still too big) existing stash. There are, howev..
